Package: dh-make-perl Version: 0.70-1 Severity: normal When trying to build Tk::Wizard with dh-make-perl using
dh-make-perl --cpan=Tk::Wizard --build an obviously wrong dependecy was detected: - Win32::TieRegistry not found in any package CPAN contains it in Win32-TieRegistry substituting package name of libwin32-tieregistry-perl Problem is very probably that META.yml is used for dependency detection. This is wrong unless dynamic_config:0 is set in the META file. If dynamic_config is not defined or set to 1, then Makefile.PL or Build.PL must be run and the created Makefile or Build must be inspected for the correct dependencies (in newer Perls one can use the created MYMETA* files instead). META.yml is only meant for statistical analysis, but not for real dependency resolution. In the case of Tk::Wizard the Windows-specific module is optional and only used on Windows systems. Probably the module author was creating the distribution on a Windows system, so the generated META.yml had this windows-specific module in the prerequisites list. Just conincidence. I can point you to the correct dependency detection code in CPAN.pm. Maybe using Module::Depends::Intrusive *always* would also do the right thing.
